BANK DEPOSIT SLIP.

.Application filed December 9, 1921. Serial No. 521,081.

T o all 'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, WILLIAM T. lNNns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new andk usefullmprovement inBa-nk Deposit Slips, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. n

. This invention relates to an improvement in bank deposit books of the club type, which are issued for deposits ofditierent amounts which are to be made in installments on or before predetermined' dates. f

Considerablek time is required. daily in banks having a large number oi' depositors of this character to sort and balance the deposit slips and the amount received. The

slips are usuallycolored or printed in such a manner that the teller' can readily; sort the slips and place those of one denomination on one pile and those of other denominations on other piles or stacks, and after sorting the slips are counted.

lt frequently occurs that the slips and amount deposited do not balance and is frequently caused by the teller misplacing one or more slips in the wrong stack or stacks. When this occurs, it is necessary for the teller to leaf over the stacks, properly place p the misplaced slips, and then recount.

.The object of my invention is to provide a system or arrangement of slips whereby the teller can stack the deposit slips at the end of the day or during the day when the deposits are made whereby he can see at a glance whether any of' the slips are placed in the wrong stacks.

Another object of my invention is to provide a rack for receiving the slips, which is adapted to maintain the slips in order.

rThe precise nature of my invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, which will now be described, it being premised, however, that changes may be` made in the details of construction without departing Jfrom the spirit and scope of my invention as defined in the appended claims.

Fig. l of the drawings illustrates one form of deposit book made in accordance with my invention showing the top page as printed.

Fig. 2 is a similar view after the top page has been stamped and signed. Y

Figf is a perspective view of a holder for deposit slips.

Fig. 4 is a tace of a modiiied form of deposit slip separated from its stub. The books as issued each contain a predetermined number of pages or leaves on which yare designated the amount of thek installment tobe paid and the time when such installment is to be paid. The book shown in the drawings is illustrative of a book of the fifty centV denomination andfin which a designates the stub which is left in the book and Z) the deposit slip to be severed therefrom. The leaves are printed and perforated as indicated at c or provided with a yweakened portion in any desired manner so that the deposit slips can readily be severed from their stubs along a: predetermined line. Each deposit slip is also provided with one or more perforations such 'asd ande. f These vholes d and e are located in precisely the same positions in all of the slips in books of the iit'ty cent denomination issued by a bank, while the slips of each other denomination have similar holes whichregister with each other but are out of register with slips of all other denominations. v

The stubs may also be provided with a blank space f, while the slip may be provided with a similar space g in which the date on which the deposit is made may be stamped, as indicated at h in Fig. 2.

The books are issued by the bank to depositors ott the desired denomination and when the depositor makes a deposit, he si gns the required'number of slips to cover the amount of the deposit, passes the book and the money to the teller, who stamps both the stub and slip and signs the stub, as indicated in Fig. 2. The teller then separates the stamped and signed slips `from the stubs, returns vthe book to the depositor,

and places the slip or slips in a holder, such as shown at ai in Fig. 3, for the slips of the denomination deposited. l

ln the case illustrated, the slips are placed in the iirst compartment designated 50e, which is provided with pins d and e which are adapted to enter holes @l and e,

respectively, in the slips I). The other compartmentsdesignated $1.00, $2.00, and $5.00 are provided with similar pins d2, e2; d3., e3;

:find c", d'1, respertively, :ind :is the pins in the different compartments are placed in diii'erent positions, it will be impossible 'for the teller to place thc slips in the wrong` coin p a rtinent.

ln Fig. 4l l have shown e inodiiied. iorin of blank in which. the slip is merely provided with notches d and e arranged to engage positioning pins or members oit the holder.

This provision of registering ineens on the slips and the holders provides ineens whereby the teller can readily stack the slips as received and een re'ediljiv see 'when plmfiiip` the slip whether he pla-ces the slip in the proper rompnrtnien es the registering'devices on the slips rind the compartments will not register unless the slips are properly positioned.

This stacking and checking` ot the slips -us received saves time tor the teller, es he .is assured that the deposit slips or' this class ot' deposits ere properly sorted when the benk closes, so that it is only necessary for him to count the slips oi the different denoininatons and is sii-re that there are no misplecedslips, thus enabling hiin to eccnriitely balance his ceish by the simple proeess et multiplication.

. .lt will be nnderstooil that the shepe, sizes :ind number oi cooperating registering devices may be varied to incre-ese the-combinetion of such devices.

Having now `fully described my. invenw tion, what l claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

l. Bank deposit books ol' the cli-infecter described, having leaves representingdit'- iterent denoniinetionsu each leaf comprisingY e stub end e separable deposit slip7 the stubs ot deposit slips oit enoli lee-i in a book representing the same denomination, earch deposit slip having positioning ineens to cooperate `with n smoking;` device, the p0sitioning means in the slips oit each denomination registering' with each other, but ont oit register with the positioning means ot' other denominations so that the edges of the slips of each denoininzitioi'i will register with each other when positioned on a steekin@l device iter slips tor such denominations.

2. Bank deposit books` of the character described having 'lea-ves representingditterent denon'iinations, each comprising a' tub and e separable deposit slip the stubs and deposit slips of erich leef representing the seine deno1nination,'each deposit slip having e periiioretion, the pertorations in the slips or eeeh denomination registering With each other but ont of register with such pertorzitions in slips of other denomina,-

tions.

in testimony ot which inventioi'i, l have hereunto set my henri, et Philadelphie, Pa., on this 28rd day of lloveinloer7` 1921.
